Perfect for home gyms, studios, and commercial fitness centres, this bar brings functionality and flexibility to any training space. The dual parallel hand grips allow for a neutral wrist position that significantly reduces joint strain on your wrists and elbows compared to standard straight bars. It is ideal for bench presses, rows, hammer curls, tricep extensions, skull crushers, and front raises. Built for durability, this bar features a high-grade construction with a professional finish. It is compatible with 1-inch (25.4mm) sleeve diameter plates and weighs 8kg, making it suitable for all ability levels. Dimensions are 880mm in length, 250mm in width, and 100mm in depth.
The Modern Fitness Multi-Grip Weightlifting Bar is designed for strength training enthusiasts and home gym users looking to diversify their upper-body routines while minimizing joint discomfort. By utilizing neutral-grip handles, it allows for safer, more efficient execution of pressing and pulling movements; however, it is strictly limited to 1-inch weight plates, which may not suit users currently invested in 2-inch Olympic-standard plate sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This bar is designed exclusively for 1-inch (25.4mm) hole diameter weight plates. Ensure your existing plate inventory matches this measurement before use.
Setup: Simply slide your 1-inch plates onto the sleeves and secure them with appropriate collars to prevent lateral movement during your lifts.
Care: Wipe the bar down with a dry, lint-free cloth after every workout to remove sweat and moisture. For deep cleaning, use a mild soap solution and ensure the bar is thoroughly dried to prevent oxidation. Periodically check that the grip connection points remain tight and free of debris.
